14 Women Show Off Their Incredible Body Transformations – Without Losing A Single Pound

Losing weight can be tough, but did you know that just because the numbers on the scale aren't moving doesn't mean you aren't burning the fat and totally transforming your body?

Muscle weighs more than fat, so chances are, if you've gained muscle, you could be losing inches without losing overall body weight.

Muscle mass is lean and looks great. Plus, the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you'll burn at rest. So you could be saying bye-bye to that unwanted fat while you sit on the couch or take a nap! This is why resistance or weight training is always recommended to be a part of any exercise routine.

Looking for proof? These 14 women totally transformed their bodies and look a fraction of their starting weight but, in fact, weigh exactly the same amount! Have a look for yourself. They'll leave you wanting to hit the gym asap!

"For anyone fretting over “holiday weight” this is your reminder to screw the f’ing scale! That number means nothing. What’s important is how you FEEL, if you’re being kind to your body (and mind), if you’re nourishing yourself with proper nutrients and letting your body sweat." - @screw.the.scale

11. 110 lbs

"My weight has not fluctuated and if anyone were to ask me just how many kgs I have lost, the truth is none. This is living proof that the number on the scale is not an accurate measure of progress. Although I may have been the same weight in both the pictures, it is pretty clear that I certainly do not look the same." - Lee
